The old-school convection ovens are disappearing. Instead, everyone is switching over to high-power infrared (IR) lamps on their conveyor lines. The goal is pretty straightforward: get the water out of the fruit fast, but don&rsquo;t actually &ldquo;cook&rdquo; the life out of it.</p> <h2 id="getting-the-heat-where-it-matters">Getting the Heat Where it Matters</h2> <p>When you&rsquo;re moving bulk snacks, you&rsquo;ve got a massive amount of product flying down the line. To keep that speed up, you need a serious punch of heat. That&rsquo;s where our lamps come in. We pack a lot of wattage into a short distance, which creates a rapid thermal exchange. Instead of waiting for the outside to warm up, the energy hits the surface and pushes the moisture right out of the core. Hot air just can&rsquo;t do that. Air is basically an insulator—it lingers. IR radiation just cuts through.</p>
